Yes, to clarify - there were 6 cabin crew. The 3 in the aft cabin all observed the signs of distress from the left engine, but none of those 3 heard the announcement about the right engine having been shut down. Some or all of the other three cabin crew members presumably did hear the shutdown announcement, but it's not clear from the report whether any of them had seen the flames. Either way, as you rightly say, the pilots were not informed by the CC that there were continuing issues with the remaining live engine.
